A strategist from ancient China treats the music industry like warfare. Kongming's deadpan genius paired with Eiko's raw ambition creates comedy that lands because the show respects both the absurdity and the actual stakes of making it as an artist.

SYNOPSIS
Zhuge Liang, the legendary military strategist of ancient China, wakes up in present-day Tokyo with no memory of how he got there. He quickly befriends Eiko, a street performer with untapped potential and big dreams of making it in the music industry. Recognizing raw talent when he sees it, Kongming applies centuries-old battlefield tactics to the cutthroat world of modern pop music. What unfolds is a comedy of misunderstandings and unlikely partnerships as a time-displaced historical figure treats the music scene like a strategic war campaign, complete with calculated moves and unconventional methods. The film blends supernatural fish-out-of-water hijinks with genuine moments of character growth and musical performance. Kongming's deadpan observations about contemporary culture clash hilariously against Eiko's earnest ambition, while their friendship becomes the heart beneath all the absurdity. Shibuya transforms into their personal stage as they navigate industry obstacles, skeptical producers, and rival performers. Expect infectious energy, catchy musical numbers, and the kind of lighthearted chaos that comes from combining ancient wisdom with modern pop culture.
